The Call for Evidence closed on 1 February, and the responses are currently being analysed. Any recommendations will be considered as part of the development of the Aviation 2050 Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/03/2019 11:09:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
